Check out Tobiaz's Web page design contest…

I am an entrepreneur and technology evangelist and I need a new design for my personal (professional) blog.

Existing website

The Brief

Page descriptions

Page 1)
This should be the landing page of the blog and rollup all the latest posts, contain widgets for recent comments, recent posts, most popular posts, tagclouds and so on.
It should contain an archive (See any wordpress blog, or visit www.zimmergren.net to see the current archive)
Page 2)
This should be a the page of viewing an actual post. That is, when I click a blogpost and view it - this is where I'll end up. It should obviously contain all information that a normal blog page does including comments fields etc.
Page 3)
A layout for pages. When I create a new page (i.e. "About" or "Links") I need to have a proper design for such pages as well.
Design guidelines)
Creativity has no limits, so I'm not looking to control the outcome but rather to let you have a go at it to see if we can find a cool design.
Some guidelines that may be followed though, are as follows:
- A clean and formal design
- Experiment with your own colors but also try out the colors in the attached colorscheme.
- The blog should contain our company logo (and maybe colors) to some extent, so people will recognize the brand.
The blog is a professional blog that will have a couple of initial categories:
- Technology, Business, Misc.
Updated section:
Please visit my current test-deployed Wordpress blog to get inspiration of what the content, layout and dynamic parts can look like (http://sites.wizdim.com/tobias/)

Other notes

Be creative but please follow the guidelines of a good wordpress blog so it wont be too complicated to implement.
